CEGESOMA, Partner of Austrian Service Abroad Welcome to CEGESOMA/State Archives of Belgium CEGESOMA, Centre for Historical Research and Documentation on War and Society, is the Belgian centre of excellence for the history of 20th century conflicts. It carries out research, organises public events and holds document collections. It is since 1 January 2016 the fourth Operational Directory of the State Archives. It is a platform for academic and public activities in Belgium and abroad, in particular with regard to the two World Wars. Important notice * CLOSING DAYS – Friday 1 November 2019 (All Saints Day) – Monday 11 November 2019 ( Armistice) – Friday 15 November 2019 (King's Day). Colloquium about the 75th anniversary of the Liberation and the 50th anniversary of CegeSoma The heritage of the Second World War in Belgium. Future prospects for history? 10 December 2019 – Senate Focus on the Resistance On 1 October 2019, the TV series 'Kinderen van het Verzet' (Children of the Resistance, broadcast as from 22 October 209) by Canvas was launched at CegeSoma. The series addresses the growing interest of society and historical research in the history and remembrance of the resistance in Belgium. CegeSoma plays a key role in this trend and we give an overview of our main 'resistance initiatives'. International colloquium about Linked Data (ADOCHS project) On Friday 22 November, the ADOCHS project (Auditing Digitalization Outputs in the Cultural Heritage Sector) organises an international colloquium about Linked Data at KBR (the Royal Library of Belgium). Fresh publications from CegeSoma associated researchers Three associated researchers of CegeSoma just published new works and a fourth researcher brought out the French translation of a book published in 2018. Donation of the Witte Brigade (Fidelio) archives The Witte Brigade (Fidelio) is of significant historical relevance, as it was the only armed resistance organisation headquartered in Flanders. In 2017, we already reported on the donation of some twelve linear metres of archives from the more recently established non-profit organisation Witte Brigade (Fidelio) to CegeSoma. Towards a permament structure for EHRI On 23 August, it was announced that funding of the European Union for the European Holocaust Research Infrastructure (EHRI), in which the State Archives/CegeSoma are a partner, will continue. Objective of this funding is to sustain and expand its resources and activities and to enable it to become a permanent European home for international Holocaust research and collaboration.  Conference ‘TRANSMEMO’ (memories of collaboration and resistance) On Thursday 3 October 2019 we will co-organize a conference of the research project TRANSMEMO in the senate of Belgium. In this project historians and psychologists investigate how Belgian families with a history of collaboration or resistance remember and experience the legacy of the Second World War. During a full-day program TRANSMEMO will present the results of the research while political scientists, psychologists and historians will reflect on the legacy of this past. Bevrijd Brussels Libérée (Liberated Brussels) Brussels, 3 September 1944. Since the early hours of the morning, Radio London broadcasts the Belgian national anthem, the Brabançonne. Just one day before, the first units of the Allied Armed Forces have entered the country. In the capital city, people stayed indoors, following the instructions not to interfere with troop movements. Then, shortly before 8 pm, the first Allied tank enters Brussels. When poeple recognize it, they burst with joy. Sixth Public History Encounter of the CegeSoma Monday 30 September 2019 (12.30 pm – 2.00 pm) at CegeSoma  'When photography becomes a historical source in its own right' Conference-debate (in French) on the occasion of the two new publications 'Bruxelles, ville libérée (1944-1945)' and 'La Wallonie libérée (1944- 1945)' Guest speakers: Mélanie Bost, Alain Colignon, Chantal Kesteloot, Bénédicte Rochet (authors) Host: Anne Roekens “Children of the Resistance―: launch of the programme by Canvas at CegeSoma Following the high-profile TV-series “Kinderen van de collaboratie― (2017) and “Kinderen van de kolonie― (2018), the series “Kinderen van het verzet― will be broadcast on Canvas (VRT) from October 2019. This new series will be officially presented to the press and the public in the conference room of CegeSoma on the 1st of October 2019. New articles on the Blog of Belgium WWII What's new on the Belgium WWII-blog? A couple of months ago we announced the launch of the Belgium WWII-blog. Since then, new articles have been published online. They deal with current debates on the perception of the Second World War, the challenges with regard to remembrance of the war as well as new forms of interactions with the target audience of historical projects. Colloquia of local history associations 'From Liberation to Victory' On 3 June and on 17 June, CegeSoma organised two colloquia, at the State Archives in Namur and at the State Archives in Ghent respectively, for anyone interested in local history about the period from the Liberation of the country in September 1944 to the final victory over Nazism in spring 1945. The following report presents an overview of the papers presented that can provide tools and guidance for further research about the subject, thereby also spreading the findings of the colloquium among those interested in local history. New issue of the JBH out now The first issue of the JBH for the year 2019 has been published. It contains four articles, a section about doctoral theses and a number of reviews. Earlier in 2019, the price of JBH issues was significantly lowered, so this first issue is available at a very reasonable price. A workshop on looted library materials in Belgium during the Second World War On 14 June 2019, Dr Patricia Kennedy Grimsted (Harvard University) was invited as the main speaker to a workshop organised by CegeSoma and AMSAB - ISG about the Nazi's plunder of cultural heritage in Belgium during the Second World War. She is an internationally renowned expert who has been carrying out research on this issue for decades and still works on the subject. Conference in Leuven about archives and historical research From 6 to 7 June, the yearly international archival symposium will take place in the Belgian State Archives in Leuven. The theme of this year's conference is archives and scholarly research (Archive und wissenschaftliche Forschung). Workshop Plunder of Art and Heritage in Belgium during the Second World War - 14 June 2019 Recently Patricia Grimsted, the well-known American researcher on the history of the German looting of art and heritage in Europe during World War II, has addressed a number of Belgian researchers with a request to follow up on earlier research and publication projects. International Conference ‘Holocaust Studies and Its Social Setting’ To conclude the second phase of the project “European Holocaust Research Infrastructure―, with the State Archives/CegeSoma being one of its partner institutions, an international conference is going to be held in Amsterdam on July 3, 2019. War - occupation - liberation: a new book on Belgium during the Second World War On May 8, a new permanent exhibition on the Second World War was opened at the Army Museum / War Heritage Institute. This exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue that looks at the Second World War from different angles. To the latter, CegeSoma researchers have made a significant contribution. Find out how to use the Ugescrowd platform The Ugescrowd platform (a new digital tool for improving the description of CegeSoma's photograph collections) is set up to be as intuitive as possible. However, initial feedback from users has shown that the platform still needs some modifications and first-time users can benefit from some guidance. Study day aimed at the French-speaking local historical associations 'De la Libération à la Victoire : l'histoire locale revisitée' Lundi 3 juin 2019 – Archives de l'Etat à Namur Le Centre d'Études et de Documentation Guerre et Sociétés contemporaines (CegeSoma), 4e Direction opérationnelle des Archives de l'État en Belgique, organise le 3 juin prochain une journée d'étude spécialement destinée aux cercles d'histoire locale.

    25th Commemorations of the Genocide against the Tutsis: "Mr. President, it is time to make a statement of truth! " Mr. President, It has been 25 years since the genocide against the Tutsis has been perpetrated in Rwanda. Over the course of three months, more than one million people were exterminated by extremists coming together as the Hutu Power movement, with a massive participation of the population. The consequences of this genocide are still felt today. This past, particularly for France, does not pass. Since your election, you have sent signals of hope that the time has come to put an end to the French position characterized by silence and denial since the genocide took place. After 25 years, it is finally time to take the necessary steps in order to shed light on the truth and pursue justice. Mr. President, next April 7th your place is in Kigali, amongst the highest representatives of the international community. By the side of the survivors. France has cancelled its participation at the 20th commemoration of the genocide; your presence this year would repair this disgrace. What survivors, youth, French civil society, Rwanda, and Europe are expecting from you first and foremost is that truth be told. Even though genocide denial persists in its attempt to manipulate History, you must state the obvious : in 1994, in Rwanda, a genocide has been perpetrated against the Tutsi people. You must further explain the words spoken in Kigali in 2010 from your predecessor, former President of the French Republic Nicolas Sarkozy, who recognized that “errors of judgement and political errors have been made here and have produced absolutely dramatic consequences”.

  • The International Cultural Relations at the Federal Ministry of European and International Affairs (Bmeia)
    THE INTERNATIONAL CULTURAL RELATIONS AT THE FEDERAL MINISTRY OF EUROPEAN AND INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS (BMEIA) Basic Principles, Key Areas and Programmes 1 2 THE INTERNATIONAL CULTURAL RELATIONS AT THE FEDERAL MINISTRY OF EUROPEAN AND INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS (BMEIA) Basic Principles, Key Areas and Programmes 4 INTRODUCTORY REMARKS AUSLANDSKULTURKONZEPT On the basis of its experiences with the key areas and programmes to date, and with a view to the future, the Directorate-General for International Cultural Affairs at the Federal Ministry of European and International Affairs has further developed the basic principles, key areas and programmes for Austrian international cultural policy. These principles align with the joint efforts of our partners at federal, provincial, and mu- nicipality level, as well as many other individuals and institutions working in the fields of art, culture, the sciences and dialogue and their valuable and constructive contributions to our country and its international relations. The initial outline of this document was completed before the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, and its focus is on the future. Some new insights and experiences from the pandemic period are however reflected in this document, which summarises the efforts of Austrian International Cultural Relations in its areas of activity and thematic fields to date. Two new areas are defined which must play a role in future international cultural policy: ecology and new forms of sustainable economy, as well as the issue of the impact of digi- talisation on life and work in the future. The document was developed by staff at the Directorate-General for International Cul- tural Affairs, under the supervision of Teresa Indjein, Peter Mikl and Christian Autengru- ber with contributions by Ulla Krauss-Nussbaumer, Marcus Bergmann, Stephan Vavrik, Waltraud Dennhardt-Herzog, Ingrid Köhn-Dursy, Sonja Reiser-Weinzettl, Karin Cervenka, Valerie Hagg, Martin Pammer, Denise Quistorp-Rejc and Martin Rauchbauer.
